I beg your pardon if this is too off topic. I am posting here since I hope to find an R solution to my problem. Please indulge me while I give a little background about what I'm trying to do. I'm on a DSMB for a clinical trial. The Steering Committee for the trial has asked us to perform a futility analysis on their primary outcome which is a time-to-event endpoint. The trial was not

Hello - I am wondering if anyone has written some R code to calculate futility bounds for a group sequential analysis of clinical trials data. The library ldbounds has a function 'bounds' which calculates the effectiveness stopping bounds for various spending functions, but it does not appear to do the same for futility (sometimes called the 'inner wedge'). Thanks for

Hello useRs, I'm pleased to announce the general availability of the R package futile.paradigm, which is a language extension that implements functional dispatching in R. This is an alternative to the current object-oriented styles, replacing them with a functional programming style that provides a clean, fine-grained declarative syntax for function definitions. The core of the pack...

When setting up my new machine, I had the surprise to see that "Package 'fUtilities' was removed from the CRAN repository." This is problematic for my work. I use many of its functions, and it will complicate things a lot if other programmers want to use my previous code in the future. Plus, nowhere can I find the justification for its removal. Thanks for any info on this

Dear all! I'm using R 2.12.1 in Ubuntu 10.04. Problem is that when using functions like interp (package akima) and akimaInterp (package fUtilities), I get different results every time for the same data set. I've checked the interpolated results, and two examples (in attachment) have different sum of NA values. Also when I subtract the x,y,z values from two interpolations of the same data

Hello developeRs, Apologies in advance for a rather long email, but to describe the problem, I need to step through many details. I have been working on a new dispatching system (futile.paradigm on CRAN) based on functional programming concepts that is an alternative to S3 and S4 dispatching. I use a declarative syntax using guard statements to control the dispatching between function variants. I also provide post assertions via an 'ensure' command that programatically beh...

After some futile searches, I decided to ask the list to see if any of the sages out there would have an answer: I have a function I wrote a few years ago in S, which calls glim numerous times. I'd like to port it to R, but glm works differently from glim, which takes as part of its input an X design matri...

Hello: I am trying to use fCalendar for date arithmetic and the RMySQL package for accessing a MySQL database. The fCalendar math operations seem to work fine UNTIL I load the RMySQL package.

Hi, there was a message in the list at Fri 26 Oct 2007 21:13:58, that beagle was added to centos testing repo. But I could not find it there. Please could someone give me an advice. Thank's a lot! "We have added beagle-0.2.18, tomboy-0.8.1, and mono-1.2.4 to the CentOS-5 testing repo for both x86_64 and i386." Are there any experiences with beagle under centos 5? Is it usable now

Hi, I am running R on Win 7. I got error for > listDescription(fPortfolio) Error: could not find function "listDescription" What do I need to install for solving this ? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I have Wine working, and my Windows XP-installation mounted as read only. Reading the FAQ, I noticed: "DON'T configure Wine to use an NT-based Windows install (NT, Win2K, WinXP)." So... is it futile to try to get XP-applications running on my Linux-box? Should I install them from Wine, and if so, how? "wine SETUP.EXE"? I'm mostly interested in running Instant Messanger (MSN) 6.0 from wine at the moment. Has anyone here managed to do this? What would I need to do? - M

...caved in to pressure and either > released their changes or made their implementation compatible with the > reference implementation. This is interesting. I've never though of using copyright to attempt to prevent embrace and extend ploys by commercial venders. But in the end, it seems futile. A big company like Microsoft has enough resources to reimplement libFLAC should they wish. Then they can embrace and extend without worry about copyright. So I would recommend a Public Domain ``license''. I really don't understand why that choice isn't more popular among develo...

Hello there, I'm trying to play with musl and libvirt to see if I'm able to build a libvirt client binary without dynamic lib dependencies. I have two questions: 1) to your knowledge, is this exercise futile? 2) Do you know if there is a way to *only* compile the library bits? I want to reduce the number of dependencies in the build, and only construct the libvirt libraries, not libvirtd nor virsh. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. Roman.-

Thanks, Peter, and Prof. Ripley. My efforts last night was mostly futile except that it told me about the embedded newline in Built field. Prof. Ripley: how do I get your fixes?
